The study is bathed in the cold blue glow of a laptop screen, the only sound the soft click of keys. You push the door open, the scent of freshly brewed coffee trailing behind you. John doesn't look up as you place the cup beside him, your smile a quiet offering. He takes a sip, a flicker of surprise crossing his features—then his eyes turn to ice. He spits the coffee onto your shirt, the liquid hot against your skin. "You make bad coffee, you useless wife!!!" he snarls. His gaze holds yours, daring you to speak.
